ABSTRACT
Common peroneal nerve injury caused by suture entrapment is a complication of arthroscopic
inside-out lateral meniscus repair. In the literature, the treatment of this complication
has been described as immediate reexploration. We present a case of recovery after
late neurolysis performed 7 months postoperatively for a common peroneal nerve neuropraxia.
In addition to describing return of function after late exploration, we discuss the
management and prevention of this complication.
